Wen Hui reached out and took out the golden hairpin in one of the clips and said, "Sisters, it must be very strange, I already gave you jewelry yesterday, why did I send it again today." Moreover, the jewelry I gave yesterday, let alone a set, is any one of them worth more than the gold hairpin in this clip. ”

Wen Juan frowned and said: "Sister, this golden hairpin and gold ring are all small, but the victory is that the pattern is very good-looking, and it is red gold, although it is fresh, it is not what we should wear?" ”

Wen Hui said: "Yes, this is not what we wear. We don't wear it, and the ladies in the palace don't even wear it. However, how many ladies are there in the palace? The most are still a large number of palace maids and eunuchs. These people are distributed in various palaces, serving each master, they are in the same spirit, although they cannot achieve great things, but they can influence a lot in small things. This is Hades's good opinion, the little ghost is difficult. ”

Wenhua suddenly realized and said: "I understand, my sister wants us to pay attention to making friends with the people in the palace, and to reward them more, these golden hairpins and gold rings are for the people." ”

Wen Hui nodded, and was about to speak, Wen Juan said: "I remember, yesterday, the gift given to us by the third aunt included two packs of gold and silver ingots, and we also thought, we are not going to other places to play, we need silver money on our bodies, we are entering the palace, and there is no need to buy and sell things, why do we want all this gold and silver?" It turned out that the third aunt asked us to keep it for rewarding. ”

Wen Hui nodded with a smile and said: "You are in the palace, you don't mix with the struggles in the palace, you just serve the emperor, and your aunt supports you, and then make friends with those subordinates, you are well-informed, what are you afraid of?" ”

After saying this, Wenhua and Wenjuan were very happy and said, "We understand when my sister says this." These three points must be kept in mind by our sisters. We don't have any skills, but if my sister sends anything in the future, just say it, and our sister will do our best. ”

Wen Hui smiled.

The next day, the grandmother in the palace arrived, and the second lady also talked to the old lady and the second master, and recorded Wenhua and Wenjuan in her name. Since then, Wenhua and Wenjuan have both been the daughters of the second room. Although Aunt Sun was angry, she also understood that this would be better for her two daughters, so she had to endure it.

The second lady also cleaned up Xinghuawu. For Wenhua, Wenjuan and the grandmother in the palace live there, so that they can learn the rules.

When Green Sprout reported these to Wen Hui, Wen Hui just smiled, the second lady really did everything, and everything in the ditch and the river was counted. But what's the use of that? If the child doesn't follow the biological mother who gave birth to her and raised her, will she be with this mother-in-law who only has a month to get along?

Wen Hui didn't bother to pay attention to these things, Wen Hua and Wen Jin were just two nobles when they entered the palace, and the Chen family already had a noble concubine in the palace. This time, two more young nobles with low positions are just icing on the cake, and they are nothing. The second lady is thinking too much.

Wen Hui has more things to do right now. As soon as they come, the people of the Hei family are about to arrive, and Wen Hui will arrange for them to eat, live, study, and start a new business in the capital. And that's not to mention. He also had to work with the fourth prince Liu Yan to guide the officials and craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry to build the hospital. The establishment of the hospital is already known to many families in the capital, and everyone knows that this is Chen Guifei doing good deeds, and people with a heart have started to do activities. I have to sell my personal favor to the concubine. After all, now among the government and the opposition, the one with the highest voice is Chen Guifei.

These people talked a lot in front of the concubine Niangniang, and the concubine Niangniang saw that the time was ripe, so she told the emperor, and invited the women in the capital to enter the palace in the cold incense hall of the royal garden, and opened a donation party.

At the donation meeting. Chen Guifei asked Mingzhu and Wen Hui to explain the purpose of the hospital and Yangshantang, its significance, and how to help the people. In the end, Wen Hui said: "The concubine Niangniang thanked everyone for their help in doing good deeds for her, and she has made it clear to the emperor." In the hospital and the Yangshan Hall, the stone is commemorated by the stone, and the things and belongings donated by the lady are engraved on the memorial stone, so that the people who benefit from them can remember the kindness of everyone. ”

These noble ladies were originally rich in their families and didn't care about this money. was ready to spend some money to please the concubine. I heard this, the emperor also knew about this matter and couldn't sit still, if this was given less, the emperor wouldn't say that he was stingy? If you give too much, won't the emperor say that his family is corrupt? That's not a good measure.

The most important thing is that those who read the family, what they care about the most is a name, which is more important than getting the favor of the king, this is to be commemorated by the stone, this is a good opportunity to be famous in the world, how can you miss it?

These ladies sang the praises of the virtues of the concubine Niangniang, and generously donated money, and after a while, Chen Wenhui and Mingzhu raised a lot of money for the hospital and Yangshantang. There is everything in these finances, some are directly given to silver, and some are afraid that the emperor will say that their family is rich and corrupt, and they have given some jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, as well as donated Zhuangzi and land.

Wen Hui smiled and Mingzhu nodded, it seems that their plan can be completed in advance, and these finances are not only enough for the Gyeonggi area, plus the donations of the two of them, but also enough to benefit the surrounding provinces.

Just when they were happy, Chen Guifei said: "Concubine Ben thanks you for your ladies' generosity, and Concubine Ben is here to thank you on behalf of the people." ”

After saying a solemn salute.

Everyone avoided one after another, and the princess of Qinghe, who was the highest-ranking person, said: "The noble concubine is benevolent and charitable, we just have to attach the tail wing and get it clean together." ”

Everyone is busy and singing praises again.

Wen Hui thought to herself, these people are really sycophants, and she is really far inferior to them. Moreover, listening to these flatteries, it was really boring, Wen Hui was bored, and turned her attention to the jewelry donated by those ladies under the generosity of the scene. There are gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, ivory, tortoiseshell, all treasures. And the workmanship is excellent, and I am sorry if I don't sell it for a good price. These jewellery were only part of it, because no one was carrying anything, so most of the donations were just objects and silver written on paper by the ladies, and things like the Grange. For example, a bachelor's wife of the Hanlin Academy wrote, a pair of ancient paintings from the previous dynasty, a capital inkstone, and a pair of purple gold incense burners. These should also be good items, and they can't be sold cheaply. It seems that the auction must be held. But how to open is a problem, the more people who want to participate, the better. The more people who participate, the more people will naturally compete, and the more silver will be received. On the other hand, the reason why the concubine is so supportive is that the more people who know about this matter, the better, so that her good name can spread all over the world. Therefore, this auction must be well planned. Thinking of this, Chen Wenhui suddenly thought of the three big granges in Heyang Prefecture, and he didn't know how to deal with them, as well as those shops in Suzhou City, could they also use this auction to find a good buyer?

While she was thinking about it, Chen Guifei suddenly said: "You have all donated so many things, and this concubine can't be stingy, after all, this matter was initiated by me." This concubine has been as honest as water for many years, and she doesn't have much money, but she also wants to contribute a little to the people. The concubine took out the dowry given by the family when the concubine entered the palace many years ago. ”

As soon as he said this, everyone was surprised. The women here are in charge of the house. No matter how much money the family has, they don't have the heart to take care of their dowry. Generally, a woman's food and expenses are from her husband's family, and her dowry is tightly watched. These finances are reserved for future emergencies. For example, some officials have been raided because of their affairs, but his wife's dowry cannot be raided, and many families have made a comeback by relying on this dowry. Also, some ladies did not fight the concubines in the house, and finally sent the wife in charge of the house to become the next cousin, and this dowry is their support for the rest of their lives. In some cases, the husband spends all his time drinking and losing the family business, and the children live on their dowry.

Therefore, the women of the Great Chu Dynasty all value their dowries very seriously. Chen Guifei is in the palace, although she enjoys all the glory, but these dowries are her reliance on living in the palace, rewarding, buying, and mostly using money, it can be said that this dowry is not enough, how can it be taken lightly to donate?

Chen Wenhui was also taken aback, but after thinking about it, she understood. Now, Chen Guifei relies on her father and her own daughter, where does she care about these dowries? You must know that Princess Lichuan's annual income is millions of taels of silver. And after many years of spending, how much can Chen Guifei's dowry be left now? Of course, the Chen family invested a lot of money on Concubine Chen back then, so her dowry was said to be 200,000 taels of silver. But after so many years, it would be nice to have 100,000 taels left. This 100,000 taels is really a drop in the bucket compared to the princess's annual income of one million taels. But if she donates her dowry like this, the world will inevitably praise her for her virtue. Second, the emperor must look at her differently, as long as the emperor's favor is still there, or she has become the queen, then even if it is a million taels of silver, there is no need to put it in her eyes, why care about this 100,000 taels of silver?

Thinking about this, Chen Wenhui was also surprised when she saw Princess Lichuan, knowing that Chen Guifei must not have told Princess Sù about this in advance, since even the princess didn't know, the emperor definitely didn't know, this was really a surprise to the emperor. What emperor wouldn't like a concubine like this? Even if she no longer has youth and beauty, but her loving heart, kind deeds, and grandeur, and dedication to the people of Dachu, such a woman can not be compared to those young and beautiful ordinary palace concubines. This aunt of mine is really a master, with decisions and strategies. is really a heroine among women, a master of palace fighting.
